Beaches

On the Hook Peninsula visitors will find a beach to suit all activities.

Family Beaches

Families can find safe refuge for a traditional fun day by the sea at Grange, Baginbun, Sandeel or Ducannon where a lifeguard is on duty during the summer season (lifeguard flags are displayed when on duty). A beach wheelchair is also available on the beach and can be booked through the Wexford County Council website.

If you are holidaying to escape head for Dollar, Booley or Boyces Bay where you can take in the beautiful rural coastal seascapes on these quite secluded beaches, the gentle crashing of waves is the only sound to interrupt your thoughts.
